Why 95% of People Are Not Successful

It’s commonly said that 95% of people are not successful in achieving their goals. Whether they are trying to lose weight, find a perfect partner, or double their income, the vast majority of people fail.

Now, the study that reports that 95% of people fail was done back in 1959, and it was a study on the weight loss success rate of obese people. But it has been cited again and again, particularly in the weight loss industry, that the “95% figure has become clinical lore” (NY Times).

I’ve even read in a forum that 97% of people who start online businesses fail and never make a cent. Bob Proctor reports that in an insurance company he trained, only three out of one hundred agents made a significantly large income. Although the figure number is not entirely accurate, there is some truth that a vast majority of those who pursue goals fail to achieve them.

Are You Pursuing the Wrong Goal?

One of the causes of failure is that you pursue the wrong goal. An indicator that you are pursuing the wrong goal is when you don’t feel any energy in pursuing it. Your progress is slow, and it makes you even less excited about achieving the goal.

The right goal makes you feel excited about pursuing it. And you make measurable progress that you know brings you closer to your goal. When a problem occurs that gets in your way, you keep making an effort to find a solution until you solve it.

50 Years Studying the Secrets of Success

Knowing the difference between the wrong and right goal is what separates the 5% of successful people from the 95% that fail. Having studied the secrets of success for 50 years, Bob Proctor is someone who has a good grasp on what it takes to become a successful goal achiever. He has spent decades helping and training individuals and corporate groups to pursue and achieve the right goal.

Bob Proctor’s Goal Achiever Summit on 29-31 July

Bob has written many books and held many seminars around the world through the Proctor Gallagher Institute. One topic that keeps getting attention is the topic of achieving goals. Whether it’s about health, relationship, or money issues, knowing proper goal setting and achieving is a skill essential to learn if you want to improve life.

This coming 29-31 July, Bob Proctor is holding the Goal Achiever Summit at the LAX Hilton, Los Angeles, California. Although it is a live event, you can join the summit from home by registering for the live stream option. The live stream option is an affordable way to get the same education at a significantly lower price. You can watch the summit from a computer and you have access to the recording for seven days after the summit has finished.

How to Achieve Goals by Following Universal Laws

The problem is not about knowing what to do – you know that already. The problem is doing what you know how to do. Not many people implement the knowledge that they have acquired. Not many people use their mental faculties to achieve the goals they want.

Your mental faculties are affected by the culture you live in. This culture shapes your paradigm that in turn affects your behavior. And when your behavior is one where you don’t do what you know, then it’s difficult for you to achieve the goals you say you want to achieve. Your behavior affects your results.

Paradigm → Behavior → Results

Bob Proctor Says that achieving goals is a matter of following a set of universal laws. An example is the Wright brothers who didn’t know how to get a plane in the air. But their paradigm is they believed that they would figure it out, and they did. Faith is one of the mechanisms of the universal laws taught in the summit.

The two and a half day event covers:

Reprogram your mind to eliminate conditioning that holds you back from your goals

Recognize and prioritize your goals to pursue the right goals

How to apply the laws of the universe to achieve consistent success

How to change your thoughts, feelings, and actions to create results

Develop the right attitude that attracts the support you need

How to overcome the paralysis of fear

Understand the timeline for achieving goals

The summit is a great opportunity to join a community of success-oriented people. You will receive support that is crucial to achieving success. And you get the chance to network with people who may have the resources and connections you need.

“His Teachings Helped Me Double My Income”

One of the biggest concerns of many people is that they don’t want to have any financial concerns. In other words, they want to be able to buy a car when they want it; they want to take a vacation when they want it. They want to have enough money to be able to not have any concerns when they buy.

One woman who has gone through the program reports that Bob helped her to double her income. An increase in money is the goal of many people (maybe even all people), and doubling your income is a great achievement. If one woman can achieve it, then there is a good chance that you can double your income too by applying the universal laws as taught by Bob Proctor:
